The Cincinnati Bengals emerged from a Week 2 contest against the Baltimore Ravens losers, courtesy of a 27-24- final.
Exiting the game, the Bengals have plenty of notable winners and losers to focus on given the highs and lows of the home openers at Paycor Stadium.
Some of the winners are big surprises, as are some of the losers, with this year’s slow start feeling quite a lot like the brutal slog that was the first month of the season last year.
Except this year, Joe Burrow re-aggravated his calf injury and the future is cloudy.
Here’s a look at those winners and losers before the team starts prepping for a “Monday Night Football” encounter with the Los Angeles Rams.
